DIRECTIONS, PARKING,and other office information
*printable version of this page

 My office is located on the THIRD FLOOR of 205 Church Street in New Haven.  This means it has atmosphere, but is not the ultimate when it comes to convenience.  The building is an old brick office building with a faded gold dome -- the first hi-rise in New Haven, built in the 20's.  It is on the corner of Elm and Church Streets.  In the "old days" we referred to it as the "old Union Trust building," but its corner is now occupied by Wachovia Bank.  The entrance to the offices is not on the corner where the bank entrance is, but on the Church Street side, under a big green awning that says "205."  (Parenthetically, my old firm Tyler Cooper & Alcorn was there so long that it has a brass plaque on the wall!). The elevators are charming, old, and have heavy doors, so use caution.  (Off the subject, but there is an amusing site describing the "haunted skyscraper," 205 Church Street.)

Here is the location on GOOGLE MAPS or, if you prefer, MAPQUEST.
Here is the City of New Haven MAP showing all parking garages as "P."

Unfortunately, parking is not convenient unless you come after banking hours and can park in a bank lot.  HOWEVER, there is a loading zone in front of the building and there is usually an attendant in the lobby.  A person can be dropped off while the other parks the car, to save on walking.  If there is an elderly or disabled person who needs special help, please alert me to the situation.  If you can call me from a cell phone I or an assitant can come down to escort the person up to our office.  If you have trouble reaching me, call reception at 498-6000, and a receptionst can find me. 

I MAKE HOUSE CALLS in situations when coming to the office poses real difficulties. 

Specific Directions:

From I-91 South or North
From I-95 South or North
From Whitney Avenue heading South
From Whalley Avenue heading Southeast
From Route 34 (the Valley)

Parking options:

1.  End of the day appointments - If your appointment is after banking hours (which may mean, after 4 pm, depending upon the bank) -- find a parking lot for a BANK, because you can park free.  This means on Elm Street, the lot for Wachovia Bank, on the left; on Church Street, the lot for Bank of Southern New England or Citizens Bank (tiny entrances on your right). 

2.  Parking on the street.

3.  Parking garages, including Grove Street Garage and the Connecticut Financial Center.

GROVE STREET -- this is a covered lot TWO BLOCKS from the office.  After you park, come out onto Grove Street and take a left on Church Street.  Walk two blocks south on Church Street toward the intersection of Church and Elm until you see the green awning that says "205".

CONNECTICUT FINANCIAL CENTER - this is a covered lot and you will have a short walk through the garage.  Upon entering, take first right into Lane 2.  After parking, take the elevator to "B" and follow the signs to the NewAlliance Bank. Take next set of elevators to the Lobby.  You will emerge onto the corner of Church and Elm.  CROSS Elm Street to the Wachovia Bank.  Continue to the green awning on Church Street that says "205."

Pro Park - these are open lots on Orange Street and you must leave keys with the attendant. This is not recommended for the END of the day, although if you explain that you are going to 205 Church, the attendant may leave your keys at the lobby desk if leaving before you do.

There are various other lots - courthouse parking, etc.
